For the past two years, the Red Bull 400 has invigorated Copper Peak, the iconic Ski Flying hill and Recreation Center in Ironwood, Michigan bringing to town the first international competition since 1994. Building upon previous success, the world’s steepest 400-meter race is returning on September 26, 2020 for runners who are up for the challenge.

The principle is simple: participants start at the bottom of the ski jump and race 400 meters uphill 40 stories to the top of the largest artificial ski jump tower in the world. The nearly vertical race challenges participants’ speed and endurance, and is guaranteed to put the participants’ calves, quads and fitness, to the ultimate test.

Copper Peak was built in 1969 and held its first International Ski Flying Competition in 1970. From 1970 to 1994, seventeen countries competed at ten international ski competitions before Copper Peak closed in 1994. In recent years, Copper Peak has become a popular tourist destination as the view from the top of the jump provides a 360-degree panorama overlooking nearly 40 miles of the Midwest in every direction. Last year, the inaugural competition brought back speed, endurance and energy to the jump as local, regional and international competitors braced for the steepest 400-meter race.

Registration will open for Red Bull 400 Copper Peak 2020 on February 14th at 12 PM CT at redbull400.com. Spots are available starting at $60.
